It auto updates its virus definitions just fine. What it doesn't auto
update in the ClamAV engine/ClamWin interface itself.
It integrates fine with LookOut for scanning incoming emails but yeah
no on-access real-time scanning. Which is frankly a good thing as it
just one more memory/cpu hog you don't have to turn off.
Here at the office we just have a scheduled scan set after everyone
has gone home and a wall of shame to put up people's name and photo if
they actually managed to get a virus onto their system.
